ENVIRONMENT

By “natural environment” we mean the terrestrial, marine and air space that surrounds humans, along with their flora, fauna and natural resources. The environment and its protection from the devastating effects of technological progress, unplanned economic growth and modern consumer lifestyle that have caused the accumulation of ecological problems are the subject of scientific research on both the positive sciences that study the composition, relationships and interactions between its elements and the social sciences that deal mainly with the relationship of man to the natural and artificial environment, but also with legal regulation through public and private law rules at national and transnational levels.
